Today I was at Home Depot and noticed they still sell charcoal. Why?

I thought I'd do some research to find out why and ran across a few things,
such as this newsgroup. Anyway, why would anyone today still use an old
fashioned method of barbecuing food? I figure there will always be some
cheap ******* that won't spend $229 for a decent gas grill, but are there
that many of them?

Why fart around getting the charcoal going and waiting for it to burn. I
preheat the grill while I microwave the chicken parts to par cook them and
in ten minutes, both are ready to go. Ten minutes later, we're eating.

An of you guys still using charcoal?

Thank you for your attempt at trolling, but you are using a line that is far
too lightly rated. But thanks for playing.

Money is one reason. At this moment the cost of BTUs are about the same for
charcoal and propane. As the energy crisis develops, charcoal may become the
most economical way to grill. It could become the only reasonable way to
grill.

I'm pretty dense, but even I tripped over that line about microwaving
chicken to par cook it before grilling. I confess that I know what
happens when one microwaves raw chicken. I certainly would not
eat the result unless I was absolutely desparate and I assure anyone
who wonders that it has nothing to do with the culture of barbecue.

Brick,
Let me introduce you to my brother in law. Henry, bless his heart, he
precooks chicken before putting on his gas grill. But, then my sister
makes pizza dough with BisQuick, bless her heart too.

Long may they live in ignorant bliss, bless their hearts. Don't they notice
any difference when they eat your food?

Brick,
They went to the dark side long ago, lol, I'm the gentleman if I travel
back and eat at their house, I hold my opinion and go home hungry. It is
funny though, when they came down here to South Carolina to visit, my
sister went nuts on the pulled pork and fat back at Jomar's (local
restaurant). So I know they have a taste for it, probably not the patience.

That's about to change Hugh. Get on the net and check the price of
Mortgages recently. Check the price of gas in the last few weeks. See
what's happening to the price of food. This is the result of printing
trillions of bucks. Each one becomes worth less. The price of charcoal
will double in the next year.
